My first was Pidgey, and then Zubat but I am not really sure if I can count those because a game shark had been used on that cartridge and I think it may have had some lasting effects. The first one that I know for sure was legitimate was a male Combee in Pearl. I was so angry that it was male, I didn't even want it in my game. I named it ANGST and gave it to my friend.

My first was a Goldeen in Silver, before the internal battery went and it couldn't save anymore.

My first of my personal Pokemon comeback (2002-onward) was an Aipom in Colosseum. That was followed quickly by Roselia in Sapphire and Horsea in FireRed, and nothing in the past 6 or 7 years, not even with the PokeRadar.

My first shiny was a Rattata in Leaf Green literally right at the start of the game.
In the last month I've gotten seriously lucky(not even trying) and found a Luvdisc in Black 2, Snorunt in Platinum, and a Zubat in Soul Silver

The first Shiny that I ever encountered was a Shuppet in Sapphire, although I didn't have any Poké Balls at the time and boy, did that tick me off. The first Shiny that I ever captured, however, was a Sandile in White. I still have it, and it has since evolved into a nice, big Krookodile. What amuses me about that is that there's an NPC in Nimbasa who wishes to see a Shiny Krokorok, but alas, does not say or give anything to you even if you actually have one.

Listen, you gotta remember these things; always avoid claims of Fennekin being (or becoming) part Fighting-type, don't tick off mods, and NEVER (and I mean NEVER!) suggest that Arceus is the God of Pokemon when Endolise is online. If you somehow make this mistake, run for the hills before he attempts to murder you via tongue lashing.

You can find shinies in Colosseum? I never knew that.

Anyways my first shiny info:

First seen: Graveler (Didn't know it was shiny. Long story short, I thought the sparkles were normal in Crystal)
First owned: Machoke/Machamp (Cousin traded it to me)
First caught: Meditite (Found it in Platinum)

Later found a few more. Every shiny I have ever owned now do not exist due to my stupidity of erasing the game they were all on.
